eouragement of lawlessness vet made
use of by the Nationalist leaders. The
first evictions had been carried out
~peaceably, and with not much more
resistance than occasionally takes
place in England. This lack of
courage MI. Davitt denounced with
the utmost vehemence. The people
who had been evicted that day were,
he declared, not deserving Of one par
ticle of sympathy. They had been adj
vised by certain gentlemen not to re-
sist; but he would rather be marched
off to prison for having offered resist
ance TO legal marauders, than wait
till the Coercion Act passed and get
six months for doing nothing. HE
did no want them TO do anything
rash or suicidal, but he called on them
to show something like rational re-
sistance in defence of their home
steads." These ta6nts, and the nd.
vice to resist which was endorsed by
more than n priest" were not
without result. In continuing the
evictions, the bailiffs had to encounter
moi as before, mere passive resistance,
but an opposition carried to the very
furthest lengths. An evening paper,
in its description of the scene, shows
hat the bailiffs were attacked in the
execution of their duty with the most
fe~rocious brutality, scalding water, as
usual, being poured over them as they
approached the house. Apparently
the Nationalist leaders disliked MI.
Davitt's remarks, for MI. John Dillon,
in a speech made by him next day at
Arklow, took occasion to censure Mr..
Davitt forhaving found fault with the
advicegiven by the executive in Dublin.
It appeared, however, from Mr.,
Dillon's speech, that it was not SO
much the violence which he objected
10, as the fact that Mr.. Davitt's speech
showed a division in the ranks Of the
Irish Party. "I trust" he concluded
"that we shall in future arrange our
Counsels in private, so that when we
come in the face of the enemy, let
there be but n advice and one &C.
ton" 1t must be owing, he said, to
'sOme strange misconcept'on," that
nj. Harrington's speech (the speech
originally alludedto by MI. Davitl) had
been taken as San advice to the people
to play the part of towards" To this
speech Mr.. Davitt replied, in effect,
that the justification for his language
was the fact that the resistance which
it had produced had stopped the evic-
tons. The important lesson to be
drawn from these speeches is the fact
that the Irish leaders, in spite of all
they say to win English votes, and in
spite of their soft words when enter
tanned at dinner by English Members
Of Parliament, are still pursuing un-
changed their policy of resistance tothe
law. The Government, perhaps,
had some excuse hitherto for allow
ing the scandalogs and brutal attacks
made on the 6alifs and police. Surely
now that the Crimes Bill has become
law. they will order that resistance
shall be met with proper frmness.
Let it be known that the police will

ers, and this he seems unlikely to OBJ
tain. since Russia will not even admit
the legality Of his election. Ii is true
that he is personally inclined to defer
to the wishes of the Gar; but in the
present temper of the Bulgarians,
this would, even If successful in in
ducing Russia to acknowledge him,
only end in alternating the people from
the new Prince. This must have seem
ed clear enough to Prince Ferdinand
when Major Popof, during an inter-
view, broke out at the mere mention
Of Russia's consent with, "Do not
pronounce the hateful name of Russia
before us, Sir, Russia is our enemy
and went on TO declare that il would
do the Prince no good in the eyes of
the Bulgarians if he asked for Rus
sia's consent. He had been elected by
the Great S~obranje; that was enough.
Let him come to Bulgaria and trust
the people. For a cautious German
like Prince Ferdinand, this advice has
few attractions.
On July 18th, there appeared in
the France a letter from General
BouIanger, stating his determination
to do his duty Sin spite of hatreds
and defectiOns." 1t is enough for him,
he says, to remain with those "whO

ed" II have had" he ends, land
only shall have, one object to pro-
claim 10 the French,-that they can
and ought to hold up their heads, and
that this is the only attitude suitable
TO such a people as ours" This letter
was sent by NJ. Laur, the person to
whom il was addressed, with Il note
to the editor OF the France stating
that it throws such a light on
the latitude, intentions, and charac-
ter" of the General. that he

that he in any way authorised the

very we'll be true, but it is hardly of

DEMOCRACY IN TROUBLE.

Whoever reads the accounts OF city elections
held Yesterday and Monday in New Jersey will
observe some striking facts The Democrats
have found another Waterloo in State usually
considered as safe for them as any in tho
Union. The reports of elections yesterday in
several cities tell their own tale. On Monday
there was not only an overwhelming Repub-
lican victory in Paterson, where the Democrats
used to have sure majorities, and in Pa'saic,
but also in Trenton, where Republican
MAYOR has been unknown for twenty-five years.
The causes are obvious. The labor movement
has smashed the Democratic party In several
cities. and disgust with Democratic frauds In
the late legislative contests has operated against
that party throughout the State The best
citizens refuse to support party which seeks
10 keep itself alive by ballotbox stulllng. and
by series of indictabe crimes. The working
men. who form the bulk of the vote of every
party in the cities, are deserving the Demo-
cratic party by the thousands, convinced that
it does not serve their interests. The consc-
ouences of such a hcgira from that party in
Northern cities need not be explained.
The longer look is one that many observers
miss. Elections like these are a bridge from
Democracy to genuine Republicanism. The
Democratic workingmen have been fighting
against their own interests in supporting for a
quarter of a century free trade rarty. When
they take the first step, aband oning that party
because they find it unfaithful to their interests,
the next will be easier. They will soon learn
that only one party in the country has both the
will and the power effectually to protect Amer1-
can industry, and those who arc wise will con-
centrate their votes in favor Of Republican
candidates on all national issues. The free
trade agitation of Mcssrs. Carlisle, Morrison
and Co. begins to bear fruit.

THE HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATION

THE HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATION
The success of the workingmen's dcmonstra-
ton against Coercion seems to have been I'M
cauivoca In the heart of London. the strong
hold of English conservatism, the Government
policy has been denounced by popular as
scnblagc estimated by impartial judges as the
largest ever called together in Hyde Park for a
political purpose. There will be similar gath
erings in other centres of population during
the present fortnight; and Coercion will he dis
credited by the masses in advance of the second
reading of the bill. Mr.. Gladstone. while re-
naming in the background, is the real leader Of
this democratic revolt against force legislation.
One short proclamation he has issued in the
north of England to let the people know that
he considered the agitation both necessary and
justifable He makes no speeches, and his
associates of the late Cabinet do not identify
themselves with the movement but the Aven-
tine has heard the leaders, voice and returns
a vigorous enthusiastic response. Reform by
picnic" was Lord Salisbury's sarcastic descrip-
ton of open air meetings on behalf of popu-
lar cause few years ago Most of the great
landmarks of century's political progress in
England have been established in consequence
Of democratic demonstrations similar TO that at
Hyde Park.
The Coercion bill will probably become law,
since the Liberal Unionists demanded it's in
PRODUCTION and are bound by every principle Of
political honor to sustain it. Popular demon
STATIONS will net suffice TO defeat the measure.
but with the evidence of general disapproval of
rcpressive legislation to be accumulated this
week and the next, it will be impracticablc' to
enforce the law. The Government will not
venture to avail itself Of the extraordinary
powers with which it is to be armed. The fact
that thrcc-sevenths of the members of the I'm
perial Parliament arc already hostile to the
bill and that great masses Of citizens in all
parts of England and Scotland are irrcvocably
opposed to it cannot fail to render Lord Sails
bury cautious and irresolutc. He will bring for
ward remedial legislation in hot haste and
thereby he will undermine the support which
he has received from the landhciding classes
in Ireland Those classes are already in revolt
against tho proposed land measures. They
complain that the Government has sacrificed
their intercsts-in fact thrown them over COM
plctely. and that they might better have taken
Mr.. GladstOne's terms. The Liberal leader
warned them at the time that the sands were
running out in the glass and that the terms Of
settlement offered by him would lie the best
they would ever have. Ills prediction has
speedily been verified.
